God works in mysterious way.....Testing for surgery uncovers issues

[MIMISAN 404]

Well I have known for some years I have Supra Ventricular tachycardia which is some type of irregular heartbeat and this has not been a big deal.

The heart Dr. has always wanted me to do a chemical stress test called a PET scan and I was always scared of it. However in order for me to be able to go forward with the idea of the gastric sleeve my surgeon wanted my heart doctor to give clearance for surgery and my cardiologist decided to force my hand and require the PET scan in order to release me.

Badda Bing Badda Boom....I had the test and I get a call that they have noticed an abnormality in a portion of my heart. I go visit the Dr. today and he has scheduled me to have a heart catheter done on Friday because he thinks I may have a blockage and may need a stint!

The good news is that this may have been caught before it gets serious (providing the procedure goes well)

The bad news is that It will probably delay my surgery by a few more MONTHS!

i'm so glad that they caught this and you can go into your surgery as healthy as possible! It may delay your WLS but it probably saved your life. He does work in quite mysterious ways!
